Equipment
Weighted tricep dips are performed to strengthen the triceps, shoulders, and chest using added weight for increased resistance. By engaging the upper body's pushing muscles, this exercise enhances upper body strength and muscle definition.
How to do it
- Securely attach a weight plate using a weight belt around your waist.
- Position yourself on the dip bar with arms straight and legs off the ground.
- Lower your body by bending the elbows until upper arms are parallel to the ground.
- Push through your palms to return to the starting position.
- Keep the movement controlled throughout, and avoid locking elbows at the top.
